Tiffany & Co. Japanese Pattern Fruit Service

Tiffany & Co. Japanese Pattern Fruit Service

24-Piece Japanese Pattern Fruit Service for 12
Tiffany & Co.
Produced 1907–1935

This rare Tiffany & Co. sterling silver fruit service in the celebrated Japanese pattern exemplifies the height of late 19th-and early 20th-century elegance and design innovation. Comprising twelve two-tine fruit forks and twelve matching fruit knives, the set is a remarkable example of Tiffany’s craftsmanship, complete in its fitted case. Each piece is adorned with an exquisitely rendered bird perched amid delicate foliage, inspired by 19th-century Japanese paintings, with every handle serving as a miniature work of art that marries naturalistic detail with impeccable silversmithing.

Introduced in 1871 and designed by Tiffany’s visionary artistic director Edward C. Moore, the Japanese pattern emerged at the height of the Japanese Revival movement, which reshaped Western decorative arts. Moving beyond prevailing European Rococo conventions, Moore embraced asymmetry, naturalism and Asian-inspired motifs, creating one of Tiffany’s most innovative designs. Produced from 1871 to 1935, the pattern was later reintroduced in 1956 under the name Audubon, honoring American ornithologist John James Audubon. The sculpted side knobs and the date mark of John C. Moore on these examples identify them as early Japanese pattern pieces.

Bears the date mark of John C. Moore, 1907-1947, and French import marks
